Alpha, Beta & Snapshots Discussions (Fedora 11 Only)Post Development Version comments and questions that don't belong in Bugzilla here. These posts will be moved or deleted once the Final version is released

A late discovered and just potentially fixed anaconda storage bug[1] has necessitated another week slip of our schedule. The change is important but invasive enough to require re-validating our storage tests. We were already late in producing the Release Candidate and there is not enough time to produce another one and validate it in time for next Tuesday's release date. Therefor we have decided to enact another week long slip of the release. This gives us time to create a second release candidate and fully validate it and hand it off to the mirrors in plenty of time to sync up for the new release date of June 9th. As much as we regret slipping, we also wish to avoid easily trigger-able bugs in our release, particularly in software that cannot be fixed with a 0-day update. At this time we would only accept tag requests for critical issues. [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500808 -- Jesse Keating

For those who are a bit (*ahem*) impatient, you know that you can install the latest Beta and you'll end up with Final once it becomes finished?

Guys and gals, as sad as slippage is, I'd rather see that than have a Released version that's flawed badly. We've seen that once or twice and since there's only ONE "Final" version, having a broken kernel or other major bork at installation can be a complete PITA.

Let's be patient. Heck, those Vista fanciers had to wait 6 years for their version! What's a couple of weeks?
